Across the continent almost 30 million
people are going hungry - many are dying as a result. All can be tackled
with the right kind of action.
Some of Africa's problems are caused
by nature, some by man. We need your help to solve them all. Here are some
examples of our work across the continent that Focus Africa will support.

NIGER is just one of about 15 African countries
facing major food problems over the coming months. According to Tom Arnold,
chief executive officer of Concern Worldwide, the lives and livelihoods
of 30 million people are at risk. Every 30 seconds an African child dies
of hunger.

Niger, one of the world's poorest countries
where 60 per cent of the 11.5m population live on $1 a day, is only the
tip of the iceberg. African countries in which Concern is working are facing
into food crises of a staggering scale. Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, Burundi
and Somalia are in difficulty.
